Thanks for the suggestion
My problem is that I'm accessing the net via a 3g PCMCIA data card... Which
happens to be connected to my "older" laptop... The new one doesn't support
these cards...
If you have anymore suggestions.... I would really appreciate them.... I
desperately need to connect my new laptop...
Thank you
